The town is now fuller of company than it Gas been this season. Munden closed his engagement at the Theatre, on 'Saturday evening; with Sir Peter Teazle, and Alpperkin in the Riva di Soldiers, for his own benefit, which was a' burriper. Mr. Ash's Concert, at Kidnian's RoomS, on Friday, boasted of all the beauty and faShicia now here. Mr. Braham, the early part of the evening, appeared rather hoarse, hilt " Deeper and deeper still," " The last Words of Marmion," he sung with fr i ais usual ability, , and received that applause he so justly merited.

A table in the shape of -the letter ,T . was laid for sixty persons, at the top of which was placed a light and tasty Temple, supported by six pillars, from the dome of which were suspended the, arms of Sir S. SMITH, with the insignia . and orders presented to Lim by Fureigli Powers, the order of the sword, & - c.. The Temple was ten feet high. On the ends of the top table, ornaments were placed, supportino,naval and military trophies, en , Lletnatic a l" of the gallant-Knight's achievements. Opposite to the chair on the long table was a re presentation, in . sa nt l- work, of. Sir S. SMITH, on the bridge of Acre, with nava l and military, trophies. The ornaments of thi s model stood nearly as . high as those on, the top table. These were thirteen in number, decorated N;vith China figures and : vases Of flowers; The templ e an d . long table Were 'at , tached by garlands of flOwers, the whole forming a most beautiful and fascinating appearance. The din ner was served up at seven o'clock, and consisted of every rarity of the season. Jokrbr WHITMORE, Esq. was in the Chair. It is stated in an Edinburgh Newspaper,,that the 'young Scotch Clergyman, who undertook to read • sit chapters of the bible every hour for 1000 suc cessive hours, atter proceeding in his arduous task thirteen days and nights, tell into a profound sleep, or trance; from which he has never yet awoke, al 'horigh it is evident he still` lip l• 1;01e THE Sl:j.r. Mr. EDITOR, - . As one of a very numerous body of peoplc.who are interested in the concerns of Drury-Lane Theatre, I take the liberty of addressing a few words to you, in consequence of a paragraph which appeared in your Paper this day. The paragraph States; that no use is to be made of the Patent; upon the validity of which I advanced a considerable sum towards the re-building of the late Theatre, and now; I find, if I am to rely on the paragraph alluded to; that the Patent is to be laid aside, and that a new license is to be the substitute. This statement, I assure you, Sir, has excited great surprize and not a little indignation in the numerous class of Renters, and other creditors, of Drury-lane Theatre, and a meeting will soon be convened for the purpose of discussing the subje6t fully, and entering into some resolute measures for the vindication of our rights.. In the mean time, Sir, by the desire of many of the persons who are interested in this matter, I beg leave to submit the following queries to you, or the Correspondent who sent you the paragraph referred to :---tWas it not proper to convene a meeting of the creditors of Drury-lane Theatre, and obtain their Consent to the suspension of the patent, before a license, which in effeCt nullifies that patent, was applied for ? By whom was the patent solicited, and to whom is it specifically granted ? Are the Proprie tors of the late Theatre to derive any advantage from the patent, or is Mr. SHERIDAN in particular to be benefited by it ? Are the swarm of persons who were most improperly introduCed into the Theatre, under a pretence of appointments, which it would be ridiculous to attempt to describe, to be saddled upon the new license, as they were'upon the patent ? Lastly, is there any limitation, in point • of time, to the authority of this new license, or is it indefinitive in that rest:ea, and consequently of such a nature as to render, the patent a mere dead letter, which never may be revived for the benefit a the vast horde of creditors, of various descrip tions, who have an interest in seeing that its autho rity is duly maintained ? Unless all these questions, and particularly that relative to Mr. SHERIDAN, is answered„ you shall hear from me again, because it is Confidently reported, however difficult to be be- . lieved, that the new license has been expressly granted to Mr. Slit.. , Ribitz, and that he is about to dispose of it for his own - advantage, a circumstance that never could have been lb the contemplation of the LOUD CHAMBERLAIN whets be • thought proper to grant it, from a due regard to the great body of pirforniers; and other persons Officially conneeled with the former Theatre, and whiff might otherwise be reduced to extreme distress. • , Sep!. 13. Are OLD RESTrtit. h Elm THEATRE. Two.meetitigs have, . it seems, taken place in the City, for the purpose of erealing a Theatre, " East ward ho 1" A. petition to.the Crown, it is said, is aaualiy drawing up, humbly praying for license, to.w hich .will be attached:the names of SOlllO of the first charaaers in the capital, who have put down their signatures to sums amounting to 250,0001. to be applied towards carrying the undertaking into ef. tea. The petitioners state, as the grounds of their ap plication, that all monopolies are injurious, and prevent that kind of fair and spirited competition by which the public are always benefited; and that since the limitation of two Theatres to the capital, London has increased nearly three-fourths in extent and population; so that those who wish to partake of the rational amusements of the Drama are nearly deprived of that pleasure, from the distance to the present established Theatres in the winter season; a grievance which is particularly felt by those citizens who do not keep carriages. The Theatre is intended to be built in a most mag nificent style. The proposed site is said to be that part of the estate of Lord RADNOR, on the south side of Fleet -street, of which Bouverie-sreet and Water lane, with the unoccupied space of ground at the bot tom of the former, is a part. The idea is to pur chase the leases of ,the intermediate houses fronting Fleet -street, and form an elegant crescent. The Thea tre to be placed in the centre of this crescent, with a grand colonnade leading to it on each side from Fleet-street. Thus the whole will be rendered a conspicuous ornament to the capital, as the building wil! strike the eye of every perso❑ passing east or west along Fleet-street. The petition to the Crown, it is said, is to con tain an oiler of an undertaking that the prices of ad mission to the boxes, pit, and galleries shall be the same as those to the Haymarket Theatre, from which they shall not he altered, under the penalty of for feiting the license. The Theatre to be distinguished by the name of the LONDON THEATRE ROYAL, Quicx,took leave of the London audience last night at the Lyceum, in his favourite part of Isaac. Our town 'Managers shew a want of policy in not giving a permanent .engagement to so excellent a Comedian of the good old school. Mrs. CLARKE, who was lately the chief aaress at _Manchester is to supply the place of Miss SNirra at' Covent-garden Theatre. She has a considerable share of provincial' reputation, particularly in tra gedy, and it is said she is to make 'her first,appear anee on London boards in the part of The Grecian .Daughter.. EDMONTON STATUTE.—This annual scene of -mirth commenced yesterday, and numerous groupes of genteel speaators were present. The pageantry which lately adorned the revels of old Bartholomew, -was revived on the present occasion ; and the shows were arranged in a style of neatness seldom witness ed at exhibitions of this description. PUBLIC OFFICE, HATTON• GA RD EN'.—Yesterday a Baker, in Drury-lane, was charged with exposing bread for sale deficient in weight. Some of the loaves wanted three ounces and a half. The man pleading poverty, and that the bread was over-baked. the Magistrates were induced to reduce the fine to os. an ounce ; the bread to be given to the poor: PUBLIC 001*ICR, WORSIIIP-STREET.--Yesterday: Sarah Evenes ; alias Morris, ‘yar, fully comMitted. to; Newgate for trial, charged by Mr. MlGlew ; linen-, draper, in the City-road; and other persons ; with uttering fiaitious notes, for 4t s. purporting to be drawn by Messrs'.

We have 'now the satisfa&ion to coin niunicate the credible intelligence which f o ll o w s Yeiterday; the 24th, in the evening, arrived an express to his Britannic Majesty's Constil in this city, with dispatches from Gibraltar, referring to the dispatch arrived from Palermo ' i n twelVe day's. The account is, that the Archduke John had united his forces with those of Prince Charles, and that On the 29th of July last a bloody anion took place. The French were routed, so that they were obliged to evacuate Vienna and its neighbourhood. It is sup posed that on both sides sixty thousand men have been lost. " By an English vesSel; . ,arrived yesterday front Belfast in 17 days, we learn that the grand expedi tion had arrived at Flushing; where it was received with idy and gratitude." CANADA. We extract the following from the Quei ec .111cr. cury, of the 3d of July, as it tends to shew the pros perous state of our North American Colonies : " Lumber imported from Canada has always been preferred to the importation frOm the United •Staies ; kind Government, as well as iniividuals, have lately found that Canada staves and timber answer every purpose of, and are in many respe&s superior to the same articles imported from the Baltic. • By encou raging the grOwth of our own colonies in preference to the produ&ions of other countries, besides the great advantage to be derived from the increaseu number of British shipping employed thereby, we shall shortly become quite independent of foreign supplies. It will, therefore, give us sincere pleasure to hear of the future increase and prosperity of the infant city, the foundation of which is announced in the following extra& : " On Friday last was sunk, in the basin of the river Chaudiene, in eighteen feet water, a wharf, which, when completed, will afford a surface of , four thousand superficial feet, and be capable of re ceiving nearly twenty vessels afloat, completely sheltered from the easterly winds; which will enable 'them to load at all times of tide, and in the most tempestuous weather. A large warehouse is to be erected on each end of the wharf, capable of con taining one hundred thousand bushels of wheat. The ,Province is indebted for this spirited undertaking to the Honourable H. Caldwell, Proprietor of. the Seigniory, through which the river Chaudiene runs into the river St. Lawrence. On Saturday an elegant entertainment was given by George Hamil tOn, Esq. for the purpose of celebrating the com-. menCenient of the undertaking;, when the city in ' embryo, was baptized by the auspicious name of New Liverpool. The ceremony was performed with the acciiStomed formality by Mr. Wyo. B. Coleman, , who broke on the front of the wharf a bottle of wine ; the sponsors, Mr. John Stewart, and Mr. I. D. Hamilton, promising, on the part of the young town, that they should endeavour, in all things, to follow the good e*ample of industry and enterprize, by which her parent city has risen to such an unexampled state of greatne” and prosperi ty. The company was numerous and highly resped able ; several appropriate and loyal toasts were drank on the occasion, and the day concluded with-the ut most conviviality." The following Extra& of I Letter, received by the last Malta Mail, confirms some of the intelligence we formerly received by the way of •Gottenburgh and Heligoland : CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 6.—The arms of the Ottoman Port continue to triumph, and it is• verified that the viaories already published have been by far more important and decisive, than it was at first be lieved. On the 3d of May, the Russians lost before Isrnael not less than fifteen thousand men, and 'on the I atil of the same nionth, the remaining part of the corps which assailed that fortification was driven away to del Fume Serath with the additional loss of 200 men. On the 23d of - May the Russians were again defeated, though with ncr i material loss, and driven to Zimneza, village lin s . the left side of the Danube, opposite to Sistora. All reports concur in stating', that the greatest discontent exists in the Russian army, there being a great difference of opinion among the offi cers with respect to the war against Turkey -and England. A great number of deSerters have passed from the Russian 'Camp to•the Turkish army. The Servians have also been beaten by the Turks near Widden, and 500 heads have been sent to the Porte as a token of this vi6tory. Similar adVantages have been obtained over the Servians in the vicinity of Festerlem. . Yesterday, the sth of Jime, the Su blime Porte received the news that the Servians have been defeated by the Ottoman troops sent by his Highness Horshed Paella to Montossa and Camenza, near Nissa. The Turks, after cutting to pieces a number of the enemy, took 7000 prisoners; and made themselves masters of the Servian artillery and ammunition." Au article in the Papers whidh were on Wednes day received from Portugal states, that immediately af►er the battle of Talavera, such was the consterna tion of the French, that orders were dispatched to Madrid, dirthing immediate preparations, for the evacuation of that capital. The Governor-General BRLLIARD, in consequence, ordered all the waggons, carts, horses, and mules, to be put in a state of re quisition, for the purpose of carrying off the 'trea sure at an hour's notice. Another order was also given, that previous to the evacuation, the inhabi tants were to furnislt.a sum amounting to twenty -four. millions of rials._ *he report of Lord . WELLINGTON having been appoihted Generalissimo of the Spanish forces was not altogether. without ,some foundation. It now appeari that an receiving the accoant of the vietbry of TalaVeta, the Supreme Junta immediately .con lefied upon his Lordship the rank and pay of a Cap tain General of Spain. The pay Lord W. refused to accept, and he also deClioed accepting the distinc tion of rank offered him until he should have receiv ed his 'Majesty's permission to accept it. SPORTLVC INTEL!

DUTLINU SEPT. 12.—At an early hour on Sar turday morning a gang of armed villains broke into the house of Michael Marsh, farmer, on the lands of Kiehnore, in the county of Clare, within font miles of Limerick and after breaking open the boxes belonging to the family, robbed him of some bank notes and all the property he possessed. Shorty after, a gang, supposed to be same, forcibly entered the house of the steward belonging to COuM:ellor O'Regan, at Rossuiaddaand after depriving him of every article of properly . , swore that, if his master did not give up that farm, and himself leave the neighbourhood, they would shortly murder himself and burn his dwelling. We are happy to. understand that the accident which Mr. HENRY, GREVILLE met with in.. Grosve nor-place, from his being thrown out of .his gig by the unruliness. of .his horse, is not likely to be at tended with any serious injury. SMITHFIELD-MARKET, Sr. rP is.
